Postdoctoral opening in Boechler Research Group

Submitted by boechler on

Looking for postdoctoral researcher with experience in the area of topological mechanics and/or acoustics, or nonlinear mechanics/dynamics to join the Boechler Research Group (http://boechler.ucsd.edu/) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. A solid theoretical background in the aforementioned area, as well as strong communication skills are desired. The initial appointment would be for one year, with a potential for extension.

Programmable 3D Self-Folding Structures with Strain Engineering

Submitted by zichen on

Self-assembly of three-dimensional (3D) structures, through bending, twisting, folding, and buckling, has garnered broad interest among physicists, mathematicians, chemists, and biologists. Herein strain engineering and geometric frustration as an on-demand strategy for fabricating spontaneous rolling “origami” structures with programmable multistability across multiple length scales are exploited.

Smart Laser-Writable Micropatterns with Multiscale Photo/ Moisture Reconstructible Structure

Submitted by zichen on

The design of a dynamic, versatile, convertible, and responsive micropatterned system is realized by a photo/moisture reconstructible multiscale film-substrate bilayer structure. Specifically, a hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/laponite (LP) thin film is covalently bonded to a photothermally active polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/carbon black (CB) soft substrate. A laser engraver can inscribe programmable aligned micro-wrinkles by manipulating laser power and spatiotemporal control.

PhD position(s) in modeling of the interaction between phase transformations and plasticity

Submitted by Valery Levitas on

PhD position(s) is available for Spring 2022 in the Engineering Mechanics program in Aerospace Engineering Department at Iowa State University to perform theoretical and computational part of work on NSF-funded projects on the interaction between phase transformations and plasticity. Phase-field, micromechanical, and macroscale simulations using FEM are of interest, in close collaboration with high-pressure experiments performed in our lab. Please send vita to Prof.
